Siren My cars nose had not seen the ground of the road where we last spoke. He wanted much less to do with me than I, him. I wanted his familiar world to crash into mine. Side streets were where I would drive. I needed something I remembered, I couldn't help but feel cliché, and I could help but feel cliché for saying it. It's hard to push off of a wall and leave it behind. Not all time is diamonds. Power and authority, something I craved so bad. I wanted to be told. Although I never did get the chance to. The side streets I'd taken so often led me round many corners and into odd dead ends. The confusion of my commute gave me solace that I would never be found. And while others seldom found me, I found my self on a one way parkway to his house. Four am was never a time when good things happened, I should have known better. As I drove more quickly to avoid lingering at the street where he lived, I found something I had not expected to find. I found him. But darkness never illuminated flesh very well. It wasn't until laying on the parkway in front of me that I saw him.

Taste I've tasted the bitter distain of desire. On a level above pragmatism without clear direction, yet calculated and smoothly, we move into our own self interests, uninhibited by the guilt of selfless soul.

To Be Alone In A New Place Barely scratching the surface of understanding, an introspective thought provoking word collection. The wind carried away the first leaf from suspension to the ground. He lost the comfort he once had with summer. The familiarity of the air. He hung on to everyday above 70. Keeping the warmth of home. Autumn in a new and unknown town left him pondering. He thought to much and so often it left him less. Comfort only know his mind. Lost in a hallway full of doors and a shattered window. The second leaf fell to the ground before he had time to say goodbye.

I genuinely do not see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm setting my sight a little too high. I also don't want to settle.

Snow dropped, heavily, from up. Above, on, and over all down.
